Principal Message

Dear Families,

It has been a busy and joy-filled few weeks at St Mary’s Bowraville, and I am continually proud of the way our students approach their learning with curiosity, persistence, and kindness. Walking through our classrooms, I see students engaged in their work, collaborating with their peers, and showing great pride in their achievements.

Recently, we received our Tell Them From Me survey results, and I am so pleased to share that our students reported very high levels of feeling safe at school. This is a wonderful reflection of the caring and respectful culture we have built together as a community. Knowing that our children feel safe, supported, and valued is the foundation for all learning and wellbeing, and it is something we are deeply proud of.

Over the past few weeks, we have also been celebrating our school values of Faith and Kindness. It has been wonderful to see so many of our students being recognised for showing these values each day — living their faith through their words and actions, and showing kindness in the way they support and include others. These moments of everyday care and thoughtfulness are what make our school such a warm and welcoming place to be.

As always, I thank you for your ongoing support, encouragement, and partnership. Working together, we can ensure every child at St Mary’s Bowraville feels safe, known, and inspired to achieve their best.

Warm regards,
Nadine Slingsby
Principal
